Gentlemen,
After watching Steven Hardy's OpenStack talk at the aeolus developer
conference, I decided I like the whole OpenStack idea and decided to
spend a little time digging a big deeper. One thing I noticed was
that OpenStack was missing was key piece: Image Building
functionality. Something we already have in Aeolus through the use of
ImageFactory.
After some work with Steven and too many hours of hacking and video
editing, we managed to create a demo - a proof of concept to show how
we can integrate ImageFactory with OpenStack to add in Image
Building. The result of which is a video and some repositories that
will let you try out a limited version.
The video can be found here (it's only 6 mins):

I also quickly wrote a getting started:
https://github.com/mtaylor/horizon/tree/master/imagefactory-setup You
can ask me for more info if you get stuck.
I will be sending this stuff round the OpenStack mailing list later
today. I'm hoping this will help us in our fight to generate a
community (OpenStack have near 7000 strong communtiy).
If the idea is well recieved we aim to create a proper OpenStack
plugin and tweak factory a little to fit in better with OpenStack. If
you want to get involved in the project let me know, this is something
we've been working on in our spare time so the more fingers and toes
the better.
Regards
Martyn
